Before you put down a deposit

The booking decision

Best fit: Travelers who want a private 18-cabin coastal ship, swim stops, small Croatian harbors, and included touring. It suits people who value intimacy and shore access over a casino, giant theater, or anonymous pool deck.
Trip format: This is an 18-cabin private charter aboard Avantura with a hotel night in Dubrovnik before embarkation and a one-way coastal voyage to Zadar. The brochure lists a capacity of 38 passengers plus a cruise manager.
What is included: The $4,295 package lists the Dubrovnik hotel and airport transfer, seven breakfasts, six lunches, welcome and captain's dinners, guided city tours, Krka National Park, Wi-Fi, water, coffee, water toys, and arrival/departure transfers. Drinks, extra meals, gratuities, and insurance are extra.
Fare basis: The brochure quotes $4,295 per person based on double occupancy and adds a mandatory $80 per-person port fee. It does not publish a solo figure, deposit schedule, or live cabin inventory, so request the complete written payment and cancellation terms.
Solo and cabin reality: All 18 cabins have private bathrooms, air-conditioning, and television, but the brochure does not identify solo pricing or accessible rooms. On a small vessel, deck and bed configuration matter more than a generic category name; request the exact cabin number.
Accessibility: The brochure does not make an accessibility promise. Gangways, cobbled old towns, swim stops, small-ship stairs, and the Krka outing require a specific conversation; ask about boarding assistance, cabin thresholds, coach access, and alternate activities.
Embarkation plan: The package begins with a Dubrovnik Palace hotel night and includes shared transport to Gruž port, then ends with a shared transfer from Zadar port to a Zadar hotel or airport. Open-jaw flights and arrival timing need planning.
Itinerary rhythm: Most days combine a short sail, guided old-town time, lunch aboard, a swim stop, and an evening in port. The route can substitute nearby harbors when conditions require, which is normal small-ship flexibility rather than a guaranteed checklist.

About the operator

Daddy Cruises creates hosted gay groups on regularly scheduled ocean and river sailings. Its published program puts the emphasis on a friendly, mixed-age community, personal hosts, shared dining and optional group activities—not taking over an entire ship or asking anyone to be the life of the pool deck before coffee.
